What would cause a bump on the head similar to the one Sharif Atkins has? Currently playing Jones in White Collar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.192.134 ( talk) 01:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Every time I edit the Gracie Allen page, someone changes it back. I'm not very good at editing wiki pages so I keep messing up how to cite my source. Gracie Allen was born in 1902, it says so right on her head stone ( findagrave.com) yet a source from a genealogy website claims she was born in 1895 or 1896. Please change this. I mean its not like it's really that big of a deal but it's false information. George burns even writes about her birthday in the book 'Gracie: A Love Story', and how her original birth certificate was destroyed in the great San Francisco earthquake in 1906 when she was about 4 years old. That genealogy website is wrong. Please look into this and fix it once and for all! Thanks for the help and have a great day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.112.195 ( talk) 08:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Has anybody written about the ethical implications of doing polygraph testing on the paternity of a man to a child? There are TV talk shows, where people would just do "paternity testing" in addition to "taking the lie detector test". What would happen if a man really did not cheat on his wife, but the polygraph test showed the signs of a lie? What if the man had been cheating but was just "good at lying"? 140.254.226.218 ( talk) 16:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
In the 1980s or 1990s, I read a comic book called Lohikäärme Puff ja paratiisihedelmät ("Puff the Dragon and the paradise fruits") in Finnish. It was about a family of anthropomorphic dragons, and the father (called Puff) had got a business idea of trying to sell a crate-load of exotic fruits called "aoxomoxoa". The only problem was that no one knew anything about the fruits and they tasted bad, so no one ever bought any. Then a family of anthropomorphic black birds from the same country as the fruits came from moved next door to the dragon family, and it was revealed that the father of the black bird family was the ambassador of his home country. He showed Puff that aoxomoxoas have to be cooked to taste good. That's all I remember. What is the original name of this comic? Where does it come from? Have there even been any other issues than this aoxomoxoa issue? JIP | Talk 18:49, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
